In a strange phenomenon, the Chinese capital Beijing was hit by a downpour of worms as the sticky insects fell and covered the cars, judging by the photos.
Going about their daily business, the residents carried umbrellas to avoid being infected by falling worms.
Although the Chinese authorities still have not revealed the cause of this strange phenomenon, theories have begun to appear on the Internet. Where some thought it might actually be poplar flowers, a tree very common in Beijing, and when its flowers fall they are often confused with caterpillars, while another theory was that the worms fall after being swept away by strong winds , and the Theory was supported by the scientific journal Mother Nature.Net, which explains that these kinds of bedbug incidents happen after a thunderstorm.
